I am very excited to announce that ARRIS has agreed to acquire Pace plc.

Pace is a world leader in technologies, products, and services for the video and broadband industries, with 2,200 employees worldwide and $2.6B in annual
revenue. We know Pace as an innovative company with a strong product line and global presence.

This announcement comes nearly two years after the
historic merger of ARRIS and the Motorola Home business. The progress weve made over the past two years  and the results weve delivered  have put us in a positon to grow yet again. For that, I thank all of you.

This acquisition opens the door for ARRISs next phase of growth  through a broader geographic and customer footprint, newly combined complementary
product offerings, and enhanced scale. It will provide us with a large-scale entry into the satellite segment. By adding Paces innovation and talent, we can further broaden our product portfolio in equipment, software, and services. We will
also benefit from Paces strong presence in Latin America  one of our industrys highest growth regions  opening up new global opportunities.

ARRIS expects that the combination will enable us to become even more responsive to meeting the needs of our customers around the world, to fuel innovation in
our industry, to keep pace with the announced operator consolidations, and to create value for our shareholders.

With this merger, ARRIS will form a new
entity which will be incorporated in the UK and operate globally under the ARRIS brand name. This will put New ARRIS in an even stronger, more flexible financial position. Upon closing, ARRIS will be 8,500 employees strong and will remain
headquartered in Suwanee, Georgia.

This is the first step in the regulatory and shareholder approval process, and we expect to close the transaction in
late 2015.

It is critical that during this review period, both ARRIS and Pace continue to operate as independent companies. There will be no change in
our day-to-day operations. It is important that we all continue to stay focused on our business objectives while the transaction approval process is underway  we cant miss a step.

We are reaching out to our customers and suppliers around the world, reinforcing our commitment to them and the exciting future we have ahead of us. If you
receive any inquiries from the media, please direct them to Jeanne Russo, ARRIS Global Communications, at 215-323-1880.

I will host a brief town hall meeting on Thursday, 23 April, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern to discuss the
announcement. In Suwanee, please join me in the Multipurpose Room  all other employees, please register for the webcast [link]. The town hall will be recorded.

I know you have questions, and I am committed to keeping you informed. As the review process continues, I will provide regular status updates. You can also
speak with your manager, as he/she has been provided a Manager Pack with answers to the questions we can answer at this time.

Again, my sincerest thanks
for putting ARRIS on this exciting growth path. We have a long road ahead, but we have great experience in joining companies and driving success.

Its time to do it again.

Sincerely,

Bob

the other conditions to the possible combination, adverse effects on the market price of ARRIS shares and on ARRISs or Paces operating results because of a failure to complete the possible combination, failure to realize the expected

forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to

events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. The factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this Announcement could cause ARRISs plans with
respect to Pace, ARRISs or Paces actual results, performance or achievements, industry results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this document are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these

Important Additional Information Regarding the Transaction Will Be Filed With The SEC

It is expected that the shares of New ARRIS to be issued by New ARRIS to Pace shareholders under the scheme will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. In connection with the issuance of New ARRIS shares to ARRIS stockholders pursuant to the merger that forms a part of the
combination, New ARRIS will file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that will contain a prospectus of New ARRIS as well as a proxy statement of ARRIS relating to the merger that forms a part of the combination, which we refer to
together as the Form S-4/Proxy Statement.

INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE FORM S-4/PROXY STATEMENT, AND OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH
THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION, THE PARTIES TO THE TRANSACTION AND THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSACTION. Those documents, if and
when filed, as well as ARRISs and New ARRISs other public filings with the SEC may be obtained without charge at the SECs website at www.sec.gov or at ARRISs website at http://ir.arris.com. Security holders and
other interested parties will also be able to obtain, without charge, a copy of the Form S-4/Proxy Statement and other relevant documents (when available) by directing a request by mail to ARRIS Investor Relations, 3871 Lakefield Drive, Suwanee, GA
30024 or at http://ir.arris.com. Security holders may also read and copy any reports, statements and other information filed with the SEC at the SEC public reference room at 100 F Street N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call
the SEC at (800) 732-0330 or visit the SECs website for further information on its public reference room.

Participants in the Solicitation

ARRIS, its directors and certain of its executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Proxy Statement. Information about the directors and executive officers of ARRIS is set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the SEC on
February 27, 2015, and its proxy statement for its 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 9, 2015. Other information regarding potential participants in the proxy solicitations and a description of their
direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when it is filed.

Pace and New
ARRIS are each organized under the laws of England and Wales. Some of the officers and directors of Pace and New ARRIS are residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to sue Pace, New ARRIS or such
persons in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. It may be difficult to compel Pace, New ARRIS and their respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction and judgment of a US court or for investors to enforce against
them the judgments of US courts.

The
directors of ARRIS accept responsibility for the information contained in this document and, to the best of their knowledge and belief (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), the information contained in this document is
